Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Reader for Magstripe, particularly its ease of use and compatibility with devices like iPads. Many appreciate its overall performance, reasonable price, and compact size, which is convenient for business use. While the lightning connector is a plus for secure connections and the reader is generally fast, some users have noted issues with the instructions and the card reader's ability to read all cards.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I have a brand new iPhone and a lot of times the reader does not register as being connected. I have to disconnect and reinsert. Otherwise I love my square reader!

    This Plugs into your charger slot and works just like it should. Only problem is while it’s plugged in it puts your phone in silence mode so any incoming calls texts etc you don’t know about unless your watching your phone. It doesn’t ring etc

    Hard to set up. It was also supposed to be sent to the store and I was supposed to not have to pay since there was some promotion, but I did buy it and its not the best.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
